Chapter 1786: Ignition

Chapter 1786: Ignition

He was about to open the door to the bathroom when he realized that it

was automatically locked from the inside. It turned out to be a two-way

locking mechanism! He hadn't noticed it before. In the flickering lights,

he finally noticed that all the doors in Luther's house were fireproof and

explosion-proof. In other words, a normal explosion wouldn't be able to

break open the bathroom door in front of him.

If given enough time, he could open it.

But...

At this moment, Anderson locked himself in the sealed bathroom and

shouted loudly, "The fire alarm system in my house is connected to the

Khebury Fire Brigade. They have already received the alarm. They will

definitely come to put out the fire within ten minutes! If you know what's

good for you, leave on your own!"

Cloud angrily kicked the bathroom door.

He had been outsmarted by a four-year-old child. Although he had

heard that Anderson was a genius and extraordinary, experiencing it

firsthand was truly remarkable. In fact, he had no intention of harming

the child. Taking Anderson away was not to hand him over to Athena.

He had another purpose, which was naturally related to Vicki.

Although he led OGW, and OGW's reputation wasn't good, he had his

own principles.

He would not stoop to harming children.

"Come out. Otherwise, I'll use explosives! If I accidentally hurt you,

don't wet your pants!" Cloud warned.

Anderson huddled in the bathtub; he wasn't that foolish. As long as he

stayed here, he didn't believe that anyone outside could do anything to

him.

He continued to press the remote control in his hand, opening all the

tightly closed electromagnetic doors in the house. The lights flickered,

and the sharp fire alarm continued to sound.

Cloud muttered angrily. He needed to take Anderson away as soon as

possible; he couldn't afford any more delays.

He took out a handgun and aimed it at the door lock. "Bang, bang,

bang," he fired several shots.

However, although the door lock was shattered by the bullets, the door

wouldn't budge. This door had hidden locks that couldn't be shaken. He

speculated that this was the so-called earthquake-safe room designed

by the Warner residence. It was meant to be used during strong

earthquakes. It had a water source and was impervious to collapse. No

wonder Anderson chose to hide here. This child was exceptionally

clever.

Cloud carried a small explosive device with him, and now he could only

give it a try.

Anderson hid inside, hearing the gunshots outside, naturally feeling

scared. After all, he was too young, and he was facing the most evil

organization in the world. Based on their actions just now, he had

already guessed that it must be the OGW that Mommy often

mentioned.

Cloud quickly placed timed explosives at the four corners of the door.

These explosives were precise in their power and wouldn't harm the

surroundings, but they had tremendous force. They were often used to

blow open bank vault doors.

His original intention for carrying them wasn't to use them here. It was

intended for the Saunders family.

Now, he could only take the risk and give it a try.

“I'm going to ignite it. Step back!" Cloud didn't want to harm the child

and shouted loudly.

Anderson remained huddled in the innermost part, tightly embracing

himself, waiting for the impending fate. Regardless of the outcome, he

had already put forth his greatest effort to prevent himself from being

kidnapped. He didn't want to burden his parents again.

He only hoped that Mommy could see his alarm soon, and that the fire

brigade would arrive promptly and scare them away.

On the other side...

Darrin stood guard outside Alisha's hospital room, where Luther was

already asleep.

Suddenly, a subordinate of a warlord came running to report, "General,

the marshal's alarm has been ringing continuously. We don't

understand what it means."

After speaking, the subordinate respectfully handed over Joyce's

personal electronic alarm. The red light kept flashing, appearing eerie

and terrifying.

Darrin was shocked and broke out in a cold sweat. He muttered, "Oh

my God, something happened at the Warner residence.”

As soon as the words fell, Luther rushed out of the sickroom, having

heard the commotion outside. How could he sleep peacefully when he

heard that Joyce was injured? It was just a light sleep.

"What happened?" Luther asked urgently.

Darrin's lips trembled, and he said, "It's a diversionary tactic. This is an

emergency distress signal sent by Anderson. Something happened at

the Warner residence!"

"What!" Luther's vision darkened, as if struck by a thunderbolt. He

almost couldn't stand steady.

On the same night, his beloved woman Joyce and all four of his

children were experiencing life-threatening dangers, hanging by a

thread. How could he bear it? It must be someone from Athena's side,

taking advantage of their focuson rescuing Alisha, they found an

opportunity to attack Anderson.

Oh God, if Anderson fell into Athena's hands again, he couldn't even

imagine the consequences.

In the end, he was still too soft-hearted. Considering Christian's face,

he temporarily let Athena off the hook. After all, Christian provided the

most crucial information for rescuing Alisha.

Unexpectedly, like a centipede that dies but won't fall, Athena

redirected her focus back to Anderson. This wicked woman deserved to

die a thousand times over.

Rescuing Alisha but losing Anderson... Joyce, if she woke up, how

desperate she would be.

He didn't want to make Joyce sad again.

“Let's go, we need to hurry back to the Warner residence,” Luther

exclaimed, and started running.

Darrin followed closely behind him. "But, Mr. Warner, the hospital can't

be left unattended. What if their target turns to the hospital? What

should we do?"

"We'll only take three people from the hospital staff with us. Leave the

rest here to guard. I'll call mercenaries now and contact Felix. You

drive, and I'll make the arrangements. Also, give Reuben a call. I'll

leave him in charge here. If Alisha wakes up and starts crying, continue

administering the sedative,” Luther forced himself to stay calm,

organizing his thoughts. He took out his phone, dialing numbers to

contact the mercenaries while rushing out of the hospital at his fastest

speed.

"Yes," Darrin used the wireless communicator to instruct the warlords

subordinates to concentrate on guarding the sterile ICU where Joyce

was and the room where Alisha was.

He made another call to Reuben.

After several rings, Reuben finally answered.

Upon hearing what had happened, Reuben was also shocked. He

quickly agreed to take charge and promised to bring in more

reinforcements. Once everything was arranged, he would call his

people to strengthen the security.

After making all the arrangements, Darrin drove, pressing the

accelerator to the floor, and raced towards the Warner residence with

Luther.

The night was dark and windy, with no streetlights. In places where

there were no lights, it was almost pitch-black, terrifyingly engulfing

everything in its heavy darkness.

Before they reached the Warner residence, they could see the lights of

the entire building flashing on and off in the distance. In the dim night, it

warned anyone within a hundred miles, making their hearts tighten with

fear.
